Won't look different. In the same way 156 GTA wasn't facelifted

unless someone tells me otherwise

"The car has received the following critical plaudits: 'Car of the Year 2001', 'Volante d'Oro', 'Trophées du design 2000' and 'Auto Importado del Año en Brasil 2002'. And accolades from readers: 'Auto Europa 1' in 2001 and 'L'auto che preferisco' in 2001, 2003 and 2004."
"Carro importado do ano no Brasil 2002", we speak portuguese for God's sake...

I can't decide which is the better.
I don't like the chrome stripe at the end of the car. Like an Opel Astra

Orazio Satta Puliga, one of the most important figures in Italian motorcar history to say:
"Alfa is a unique way of living and feeling a car. There is no definition that explains what Alfa really is. You can compare it with those irrational emotions, that sometimes have a human spirit, for which it is impossible to find a logical explanation. We are in the domain of feelings, passion of things that are closer to a man's heart than his brain."

if you want a facelifted 156GTA then Autodelta does one

i wouldn't mind much if Alfa decides not to facelift the GTA (although i think i read otherwise) cos i love the design so much, didn't see the need for such a major face lift

Definitely the most beautiful car in its class.......and currently IMO its even more clear that the 147 is the most beautiful car since the cars beauty in general is going backwards

i think that with its new look, the 147 has kinda lost its touch...i sense a heart of badass and real speed potential when looking at the current 147, but this design looks much more docile and harmless...
